Liberation Riots

(1155 to 1164): Liberation Riots

• It occurred within Charted Space.

Description (Specifications)

Intercommunal warfare that erupted on several Thinrim worlds in the period of 1155-1164. The riots were a spontaneous event, following the inability of populations on Fait Accompli worlds to obtain the right to participate in the Representational Reforms and the Regency's refusal to extend the reforms to such worlds without the consent of their Vargr and Aslan overlords. Popular anger escalated into an open revolt on Fait Accompli worlds and several neighboring systems as well. Many Thinrim worlds still had strong feelings and memories about resistance to the Aslan occupiers during the Civil War period and the flagging Self Defense movement was revived as entire human populations were radicalised.

History & Background (Dossier)

The revolt took the Aslan entirely by surprise and they were slow to respond with their forces. Large sections of several of their worlds fell to rebels armed by militias on nearby "free soil worlds". Several human world military forces engaged in raiding and infiltration operations of their own in an attempt to aid their brethren. Riots eventually consumed integrated Aslan and human communities on worlds like Gazulin and Peridot and the Regency and Aslan Hierate threatened war against each other. In the end the threat of Virus, and the lack of Regency government sanction, slowly turned the tide against the rebels. Improved Aslan military units like the Steikhiy crushed each center or resistance, one by one. The local populations soon burned themselves out on armed resistance.
